    Yes I do...Cotto can put pressure or box on his toes...He has some good speed and decent power..His chin is the only thing that is suspect..He's been wobbled a bunch of times!

    i would like to see him continue to fight the best comp out there like he was doing before the Margo fight...his comp gradually got better and led him into beating Mosley and had his condition been better would have easily handed Margo another loss.

    Does anyone know who he has on radar?

    they might suck in terms of all time standards... like in comparison to past weight classes that are classics...

    but to say someone who is one of the best 5 fighters in the entire universe as we know it is not elite.... is madness

    well, you can say mosley, oscar , trini, vargas etc etc were from the era before mayweather, cotto, hatton, manny,....i guess it just all depends on when they turned pro....mayweather was somewhere in between all of them, but still managed to get his foot in the oscar era, and hatton era.......


    pretty good question though, especially when fighters like mosley are still whooooping ass

    no. you said the top 5 of any division is elite. and i definitely disagree with you on this on a non-ATG sense.

    He is among the elite of currently active fighters, most people would have in the top 10 p4p.

    ATG he isn't but he is still a work in progress not fair to judge that until he retires or is at least close to doing so. He'd need a few big wins against some top top opposition to get into say top 100 ATG in my opinion
